they have 4 children.
he fought in WWII and was a tool and die maker. she worked for etna insurance and fought for civil rights. he's a republican. she's a democrat. she thinks neither know enough about politics. she always votes to cancel his.
they've been married 67 years (since 1940).
they saved enough to last 15 years into retirement (thats how long their parents lived). they retired 26 years ago. they walked the appalachian trail in their 60s and travelled the country by 5th wheel with the rest of their time.
ask and they can tell you what its like to outlive 3 brothers, 3 sisters and most of their friends. death is an ever present part of their world..
he is a diabetic and she is the food warden. this is a bit long, but i couldnt delete any of it. they are my grandparents. i love them so.

Justin,
ReplyDeleteThis is a very touching video and write up about Grandma and Grandpa.
I know they would enjoy seeing it. I hope you have shared it with them.
They love you as much as you love them.
They are good people and I am happy they continue to be a big part of your life.
I love you,
Mom xxx
